Convertible Clothing - Reversible Clothing

Innovation flows through the veins of fashion designers and textile houses. There was a time when people mocked at those who made the mistake of wearing their clothes inside out. That was the side with rough stitched edges, faded designs and untidy looks.

Designers and fashion houses worked on the concept of reversible clothing and today, reversible clothing is in. Convertible clothing is similar to this idea. With busy schedules and tight budgets, customers are always on a lookout for financially viable dresses that serve various purposes. A single dress is expected to be perfect for office, evening wear or a casual shopping day with friends. While initially the idea was thought to be a mere fragment of someone's vivid imagination, it gradually turned to reality. Convertible clothing is still a new concept, but customers have enthusiastically embraced it.

The conceptConvertible clothing evolves from the idea that fashion comes and goes. Halter style is in vogue for a season, then gives way to the hooded style. Hemlines keep changing and so do patterns and designs. Considering the prices of garments, it becomes difficult to throw away carefully chosen apparel simply because the style is out of fashion. Convertible dresses work wonders when it comes to staying trendy without investing in another dress.

Here's a realistic example. St Louis-based designer Emily Koplar Brady designed a black and white tweed shirt that had black leather details at the sleeve and peplum waist, for her 2012 fall collection. What makes her design unique is that the sleeve is removable, and so is peplum. "I realise that just because peplums are in now, doesn't mean they'll want to still wear it next year," Brady explained. Designing houses have designed clothes that can be used in fifteen different ways. Some dresses can be transformed into a scarf, bag, skirt or even an evening gown.
